Sleepfy Privacy Policy

Sleepfy is a sleep tracking app made by Alejandro Gutierrez, based in Madrid, Spain. This policy explains, in plain language, what data Sleepfy uses, where it lives, and what your choices are. The short version: your sleep data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. We don't run servers that store your personal data, we don't sell data, and we don't show ads.

1. What data Sleepfy uses

• Your name and preferences. The name you type during onboarding, your sleep goal, and sleep habits. Stored only on your device.
• Microphone, during sleep sessions only. When you start a sleep session, Sleepfy listens through the night for movement, breathing and other sounds in the room. This audio is processed entirely on your device and is never uploaded anywhere. When the analysis finishes, the raw recording of your night is deleted. What is kept from it is the resulting numbers, plus a few short sound clips:
  • snoring
  • talking
  • coughing and sneezing
  • noises around or outside the room, such as a dog, a door, traffic, a siren or thunder
• Those sound clips. Up to eight excerpts of about twenty seconds each, saved for one reason only: so you can play back what Sleepfy heard and check it for yourself. They are stored only on your phone — never uploaded, never synced to iCloud, and excluded from your device backup. They are deleted as soon as you record a new night, so only your most recent night is ever saved. You can also switch them off, or delete them straight away, in Settings → Keep Sound Clips; switching it off deletes anything already saved. With clips off, Sleepfy still reports what it heard, you just can't play it back.
• Motion data. Your device's motion sensors help estimate sleep stages. Processed on device.
• Health data (optional). With your permission, Sleepfy reads sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability, steps, and workouts from Apple Health, and can write your sleep sessions back to it. Health data is never used for advertising and is never shared with third parties for marketing or data-mining purposes. You can revoke this access anytime in the Health app.
• Journal entries. Notes and habits you log (like caffeine or stress) to see how they affect your sleep. Stored on your device.
• Purchase information. If you subscribe, see section 3.

2. Where your data lives

Your sleep data is stored on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, synced to your private iCloud database so it appears on your other devices and survives reinstalling the app. That iCloud data is encrypted by Apple, tied to your Apple ID, and counts towards your own iCloud storage — we cannot access or read it. Sleepfy has no user accounts and no servers of its own that store your sleep data.

You control this from iOS, not from us: Settings → your name → iCloud lists Sleepfy alongside your other apps, where you can switch its sync off or delete what it has stored. See section 5.

3. The third parties involved (there are only two)

That's the whole list — no ad networks, no data brokers, and no tracking of you across other apps or websites. RevenueCat processes the purchase data above to run and analyze our subscriptions.

4. Notifications and alarms

Bedtime reminders and trial reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. Your wake alarm is scheduled with iOS's own alarm system, so it can ring at full volume even on Silent or in a Focus mode. Neither involves a server, and neither sends anything off your device.

5. Deleting your data

• In the app: Settings → Clear All Data removes your sleep sessions and journal entries from this device and from your iCloud.
• In iCloud: Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Sleepfy → Delete Data from iCloud. You can also turn Sleepfy's iCloud sync off entirely from the app list on that same iCloud screen.
• Deleting the app: this removes the copy on your device. If iCloud sync is on, your data stays in your private iCloud database and will come back if you reinstall — so use one of the options above if you want it gone for good.
• Sound clips: they are deleted automatically as soon as you record another night. To remove them sooner, use Settings → Keep Sound Clips → Delete saved clips, or switch the setting off, which does the same. Clear All Data removes them as well. Because clips never leave your device, there is no copy anywhere else to delete.
• Apple Health: data Sleepfy wrote to Health stays under your control in the Health app, where you can delete it.

6. Legal basis and your rights

Legal basis (EU/EEA). Where GDPR applies, we process your data to provide the app and the features you use (to perform our agreement with you), and — for optional device permissions like Apple Health and the microphone — on the basis of the consent you grant in iOS, which you can withdraw at any time.

Depending on where you live (including the EU/EEA under GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. Because your data lives on your device and your iCloud, you can exercise most of these rights directly. For anything else, email us and we'll help: sleepfyapp@gmail.com. If you're in the EU, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

7. Children

Sleepfy is age-rated 12+/13+ on the App Store (the exact rating shown depends on your country or region) and is not directed at young children. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

8. Not a medical device

Sleepfy provides wellness information to help you understand your sleep. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. For medical concerns, talk to a doctor.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. Meaningful changes will be highlighted in the app.
